Well...let's answer some questions about what I'm going to try to do over 90 days.
Who: Me.
What: Follow the P90X fitness program, including both the workout and nutrition programs.
When: The plan is to begin Monday, January 18 and to continue for the 90 days that follow. That would make day 90 be Saturday, April 17.
Where: My apartment. One of the big selling points of P90X is that you don't need a gym membership. You can do all of the exercises in the privacy of your own living room.
Why: I'm dreadfully out of shape. I've wanted for a while to start exercising regularly and eating better, and I find that if I'm not doing a strict program, I have a hard time sticking with it.
How: I CAN do this...a few summer's ago I followed another 90-day program and with only a couple of slip-ups, I stuck to it pretty darn good. I found that if I was incredibly strict with myself that I really stuck to it quite well. Also, this blog should help me further keep my commitment, at the beginning I'll trying to update the blog as I experience aspects of the program for the first time...as it becomes more routine I'm guessing that my posts will decline in frequency, but I'll try to update at least weekly at a minimum.
Excercise Equipment I've got (or will have by the time I start):
-A set of P90X DVDs and accompanying documentation
-A pair of adjustable dumbbells
-4'x8' of interlocking foam impact flooring on which to workout.
-An Iron Gym Extreme Pull-Up Bar (this will be my bane, I'm sure!)
-A pair of push-up stands
Nutrition Supplements I've got (or will have by the time I start):
-P90X Recovery Drink mix
-P90X multi-vitamins
-P90X energy bars
-Whey Protein mix
A HIGHLY recommended part of the P90X system is that on days 1, 30, 60, and 90 you take a series of 6 pictures:
-Facing Forward, hands on hips
-Facing Forward, arms raised to sides flexing
-Facing Sideways, arms relaxed at sides
-Facing Sideways with Upper Body Twisted to Face Forward, hands on hips
-Facing Backward, hands on hips
-Facing Backward, arms raised to sides flexing
I do intend to take these pictures, but alas, I will not be posting these online, at least not until I've got a picture in which results are obvious...pictures of yourself in poor shape are far less embarassing if you're currently in much better shape. I figure by not posting them it lessens my shame and lessens what anybody who reads this blog has to endure.
